    With no option to fight either Fury or Wilder, who should Joshua fight out of the next big 3?

    Sad to say but I don’t care all that much I’m more looking forward to the Fury/Wilder rematch

    Has anyone seen Tyson Fury lately? He is very slim and gaunt. If he is dieting correctly and building stamina I fear for Wilder and Joshua.
    Wilder because is his lack of proper boxing skill. He's been trained properly he just chooses to fight like that.
    Joshua has stamina issues because his muscled physique eats so much oxygen as the rounds go deep.
    If Fury gets to 235 or less at 6'8" and gains more energy plus he has hands, then Fury can be king once again.

    However loosing and gaining weight can affect punch resistance.

    Yep. Shout out to Roy Jones Jr. punch resistance born in 1989, died in 2004.

    Has anyone discussed that fight actually happening or is your comment aimed at keeping him relevant?

    I am certainly no expert, but I fear 235 might be a bit too far for Tyson.

    Miller, Whte, Pulez or Ortiz would all be acceptable fights for AJ.

    01. Miller
    02. Whyte
    03. Wlad

    Wlad fighting Usyk in his Heavyweight debut would be more interesting to me. I'm guessing he's only interested in Joshua or Fury though.

    What you mean is, “Now that it is safe to emerge from his heavily guarded underground concrete and steel reinforced bunker, which scrub should AJ fight next?”

    What you mean is, “Ortiz is too dangerous. Please, scrubs only for AJ.”

    Ortiz is an old bum with no fan base and zero achievements, always was, always will be.
